What is the correct statement about creating activation prior to installation?

• A. Activation should be created before installation
• B. Activation should be created during installation
• C. Activation should be created after installation
• D. Activation is not required

Answer: (A)

Activation before installation means setting up the system in the Enlighten portal and generating the activation for that job before any hardware goes on the roof. This creates a system record and binds all the serial-numbered components to that installation and to the customer and installer accounts. With activation in place, once you install and connect the equipment, data starts flowing immediately, commissioning is smoother, and you have correct ownership and warranty linkage in the cloud from the start. It also helps keep the on-site process efficient and avoids delays that can happen if activation is done after the fact. Activation is required to monitor and manage the system, so waiting until after installation would delay monitoring and service.
